In the province of Gujarat, in the Northeast of India, there is a semi-arid region with vegetation and landscape which resemble the savannahs of East Africa.
Inland, there is a 1,883 square kilometres national park which shelters and protects animals which are increasingly threatened by the incessant growth of the human population. This is a reserve for many Indian species, but it owes its status to one species in particular, the most powerful one in the region: the Asian lion.
Gir’s ecosystem has attained significant stability since the park was created.
More than 300 Asian lions enclosed in their small, little-known, Indian sanctuary conserve the genetic make-up inherited from the legendary Assyrian Lions. Man has driven them to the verge of extinction, but paradoxically it is thanks to their relation with the indigenous people of this area that the Asian lions have survived in the forest of Gir.
The maldharis live in small settlements surrounded by thorny fences known as “nesses”. When the park was created, a large number of the 845 maldhari families were rehoused outside the protected area and today there are 361 families housed in 54 nesses still remaining inside the park.
Many generations of life with the big cats have taught both man and animals to tolerate each other so that the maldharis can wander at their leisure through the thick forest without risking their lives and without carrying guns with whic...

The Asiatic lion (Panthera leo leo) is a lion population in Gujarat, India, which is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List because of its small population size. Since 2010, the lion population in and around Gir Forest National Park has steadily increased. In May 2015, the 14th Asiatic Lion Census was conducted over an area of about 20,000 km (7,700 sq mi); the lion population was estimated at 523 individuals, comprising 109 adult males, 201 adult females and 213 cubs. In August 2017, the Asiatic Lion Census revealed 650 wild individuals.
The Asiatic lion was first described by the Austrian zoologist Johann N. Meyer under the trinomen Felis leo persicus. Its historical range included eastern Turkey, Iran, Mesopotamia, and from east of the Indus River to Bengal and Narmada River in Central India.
The Asiatic lion is one of five pantherine cats inhabiting India, apart from Bengal tiger, Indian leopard, snow leopard and clouded leopard. It is also known as the Indian lion and Persian lion
Habitat:
Asiatic lions were once distributed upto the state of West Bengal in east and Rewa in Madhya Pradesh, in central India. At present Gir National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary is the only abode of the Asiatic lion. The last surviving population of the Asiatic lions is a compact tract of dry deciduous forest and open grassy scrublands in southwestern part of Saurashtra region of Gujarat.
Characteristics:
Asiatic lions are slightly smaller than African lions. Adult males weigh 160 to 190 kg, wh...

Here man quietly shares the territory with the big cats. Of course \"something\" has to give in return, so that the balance of the Park is maintained.
The Asian lion and the African lion are different. The Asian is maller and his mane less impressive; His behavior with man ... is also different.
In addition to the mane, there are other differences: the African lion takes advantage of the hunt of the females, while the Asian lion seeks its food. These lions hunt specially buffaloes.
The Maldharis do not carry weapons, at most they carry a stick, and with it they walk leisurely among the lions, with their cattle ...
Females do not usually attack domestic livestock; They hunt wild boars and chitales or antelopes, and it is very rare that they attack the buffalo.
The number of buffalo that kill males varies, depending on whether there are more or less wild herbivores. Hunting a buffalo means more meat with the same effort. Men assume it, they know that \"for there to be peace\", the lions have to eat....

The lions face the usual threats of poaching and habitat fragmentation. Three major roads and a railway track pass through the Gir Protected Area (PA). Also, there are three big temples inside the PA that attract large number of pilgrims, particularly during certain times of the year.

Gir Interpretation Zone, Devalia
Gir National Park and Sanctuary does not have a designated area for tourists. However, to reduce the tourism hazard to the wildlife and to promote nature education, an Interpretation Zone has been created at Devalia within the sanctuary. Within its chained fences, it covers all habitat types and wildlife of Gir with its feeding-cum-living cages for the carnivores and a double-gate entry system.
The Gir Forest National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary (also known as Sasan-Gir, and Gir forest) is a forest and wildlife sanctuary near Talala Gir in Gujarat, India. Established in 1965, with a total area of 1,412 km2 (545 sq mi) (about 258 km2 (100 sq mi) for the fully protected area of the national park and 1,153 km2 (445 sq mi) for the Sanctuary, the park is located 43 km (27 mi) north-east of Somnath, 65 km (40 mi) south-east of Junagadh and 60 km (37 mi) south-west of Amreli. Its ecoregion is that of Kathiawar-Gir dry deciduous forests, which not only includes Kathiawar Peninsula, where the forest is located, but also other places, like Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan.
Its region is the sole home of the Asiatic lion (Panthera leo persica) in the wilderness, and is considered to be one of the most important protected areas in Asia due to its supported species. The ecosystem of Gir, with its diverse flora and fauna, is protected as a result of the efforts of the government forest department, wildlife activists and NGOs.
